Panel Mounting

The X-Series LCD Monitors can be mounted to any flat surface. The surface may be at an an­gle from full vertical back to full horizontal. The dimensions are shown below. The overall size
of these products are the smallest of any comparable product available in the world today.

The X-Series LCD is delivered with a 1:1 full size mounting template to assist in proper location
and in cutting the correct size hole. It is made to exalting tolerances utilizing 3-D CAD software.
Please use the template provided. We strongly recommend that this be done by a qualified ma­rine electronics installer with every effort made to maintain exact dimensional integrity. Doing
so will allow for a trouble-free installation and maintain the sealing capabilities designed into the
bezel without the need for additional sealing materials. We understand that sometimes the sur­face is not perfectly flat and that it may be necessary to supplement our gasket with a gap seal­ant. We recommend that the sealant be a “polyseamseal” type. This will insure that the seal
can compensate for changes in temperature, and also can be easily cleaned and re-applied
should the LCD need to be removed from it’s mounting location.

The cutout for the LCD includes 8 mounting holes. The back of the bezel has stainless stelll
threaded M4 studs approximately 3” long. Included with the unit are self-locking stainless steel
nuts and flat washers. Use one washer on each stud and then tighten down the nuts (7mm nut
driver). Do not overtighten!

1.4

Wiring Connections

The LCD uses fully sealed connectors and cables. The connectors are located in the bottom
rear of the chassis. The connections are physically unique to insure making the proper
connections. Use care when inserting and securing connections.

X-Series All Weather User Guide 3 150-092

1.4

Wiring Connections (Cont’d)

Quick Connect Cable Connector

The LCD uses a similar style of connector for both
power and video, although they are not interchangeable.
To install the cable connector into the receptacle on the
unit, first make sure that the cable connector and the
receptacle are lined up properly. Then simply push the
connector into the receptacle until you feel or hear a
snap. The connection is now securely made and
positively retained. To disconnect, push the outside ring
on the connector towards the receptacle while
simultaneously pulling lightly on the cable until it is free.

DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS!

Power Connection

The LCD can be ordered as either AC powered or DC powered. The power receptacle is
located near the lower rear housing on the back of the LCD.

DC POWER - The cable is 10 ft. (3m) long and has two leads, the Yellow + and the Black—for
direct connection to the DC voltage source. Connect these flying leads to the corresponding
polarity on your voltage source primary terminals.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONNECTING POWER

TO THE CORRECT POLARITY!

AC POWER - An external power supply adapter is supplied that will accept any voltage and
frequency from 110 to 250 VAC and 47 to 63 Hertz. The standard AC power plug supplied is
for 120 VAC 60 Hz most normally found in North America.

VGA Computer Video Connection
The video receptacle is larger than the power receptacle and is located adjacent to the power
receptacle on the lower rear of the LCD. The cable is 20 ft (6m) long and has a standard DB­15 female connector at the far end. Insert the round connector on the cable into the
receptacle. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer Video source and tighten
screws. No special video adapter software is needed.
Windows will automatically find and apply the best generic
driver. If you are prompted by Windows to set up the display
settings, be sure to choose 800x600 resolution and 16-bit
color

X-Series All Weather User Guide 4 150-092

1.5

Signal Quality

The strength of the video signal has a direct bearing on the quality of the images displayed.
The cable supplied with the unit will allow for a very good image if proper wiring practices are
followed. Install the cable properly and keep it away from sources of EMS such as electric mo­tors, or unshielded RF sources such as radar and microwaves. Splitting the video signal also
splits the strength of the signal. If your installation requires more than one monitor to be driven
from a single video source, it is highly recommended that a video signal booster (line driver) be
used in the circuit. Some splitters are available with an integral line driver. Regardless of
whether or not a line driver is used, single cable lengths in excess of our standard cable should
be high quality shielded VGA cable. Cable lengths in premade sizes up to 100 ft are available.

2.1

Setting up the Computer

For the optimum image quality to be displayed, the display properties of the video signal
supplying the LCD must be adjusted to match. The LCD will automatically adjust to any signal
resolution it is given, but unless the source matches the display resolution, it is likely that a
less than satisfactory image will result. Regardless of the size of the screen, the settings for
any LCD are the same. To adjust the display settings of your computer in Windows, from the
Start button select Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings. When this window opens, you
will see in the lower right part of the window a selection of resolutions. Choose 800x600
resolution. On the left, choose the color setting of High Color (16-bit). Apply the proper setting
and Accept when asked by Windows. If you have another display connected, for example the
LCD of a notebook computer, that display will now have the same setting as the LCD. If it is
not the same as the LCD, you may need to resize any open windows. Also, many notebooks
do not have the strength to display two LCD’s at one time. Refer to your PC Owner’s Guide for
your notebook to select the internal or external display, but not both. All notebooks have this
feature.

X-Series All Weather User Guide 6 150-092

2.2

Operator Controls

Located on the front bezel of the LCD are the operator controls. The operator controls (from
bottom to top) consist of On-Off, Red Power On LED, Brightness Controls and On-Screen
Display (OSD) controls.

Power Controls
When power is first connected to the unit, the unit defaults to the Off state. The Power On-Off
button is marked with the I/O symbol. Momentarily pushing this button will turn the LCD on or
off. In the lower left corner is a Power On indicator, a red LED. Once the unit is connected to a
power source, pressing the power button once will turn the unit on and the LED will indicate
that the unit is ready. Pressing the power button again will turn the unit off.

Brightness Controls
Located next to the Power on LED are two buttons for controlling the brightness of the display.
The button with the large sun symbol, when either repeatedly pressed or when held for several
seconds, will cause the brightness to decrease. The very brightest setting is for operation
when the ambient light is at a maximum. This can be stepped down in increments to the
lowest setting, which is just above total black and is suitable for use in very subdued light or
night operations. The unit will automatically revert to a mid-range setting when power is turned
off.

Setting Brightness

As a rule, adjust the brightness of the display to the lowest possible setting for a given set of
conditions and display characteristics. Doing so will provide for the best viewing of the image,
will extend lamp life of the backlight, reduce the power required by the LCD, and reduce the
power consumption and internal heat of the display.

X-Series All Weather User Guide 7 150-092

2.3

On Screen Display (OSD)

The LCD is delivered with a default setup done at the factory for a generic PC and video
display card. When connecting the LCD to a computer for the first time, it may be necessary or
desirable to fine tune the basic setup parameters of the unit. Access to the parameters is
accomplished via information displayed on the screen while the unit is on.

OSD Overview
The OSD is implemented as a window superimposed on the screen image, providing the user
access to all display controls. User input is through a bank of three buttons located on the front
bezel of the LCD. After powering on, the video controller restores itself to the last known
conditions saved in a Non-volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). All parameters
(settings) are saved whenever the user selects the Exit icon in each OSD feature item. Not
making a selection within a defined time period causes the OSD menu to close. The OSD
time-out variable may be user-selected from the miscellaneous menu. The right and left
keypad buttons are used to scroll through items within the main menu. The selected item will
then be highlighted. The SELECT key is used to open and close the OSD menu. After in OSD
menu, SELECT key is also defined as the CONFIRM key to activate the highlighted item.

Hampshire TSHARC™ Touch Screen Driver

If you have purchased your LCD with a touch screen, a driver disk was included. It installs
through “Add New Hardware” in the control panel and provides concurrent IntelliMouse
support.

DO NOT INSTALL THE TOUCH SCREEN DRIVER UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED
WINDOWS AND IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. THE TSHARC DRIVER WILL ALLOW FOR
CONCURRENT MOUSE/TOUCHSCREEN FUNTIIONALITY.

NOTE: If you had a previous version of another touch screen driver loaded into your
system, you must make sure that drivers are completely removed before continuing
with this installation procedure. Contact the manufacturer of the previous driver to
learn how to uninstall their product completely

Before you begin, make sure:

1. You know the location (COM port) of your TSHARC controller

2. You have TSHARC driver files

3. You know the TSHARC controller type (TSHARC-12)

4. Your communications ports are turned on (laptop computers especially)

5. You must be logged on as a network administrator

If you have questions about the touch controller or wish to download the latest version of the
driver, go to www.hampshiretouch.com and download the driver for the TSHARC12 that
matches your operating system.

Installing the TSHARC™ Driver

3.2

1. If you have down loaded the driver from the internet you must run the self extracting file.
Make a new directory called “HamMouse”. Copy the file into this directory and run the
program. The file will extract in the HamMouse directory.

2. Run the setup.exe file located in the HamMouse directory

3. Follow the directions on the screen

4. Once the installation is complete proceed to the mouse properties window in the control
panel and select have disk and then select the newest Hampshire TSHARC driver which
is located in the drive directory labeled [drive]:\programfiles\hammouse\

5. Restart your computer

6. Start the “Hampshire Control Panel” program located in your “Programs” director of the
“Start” menu.

7. Press the “Run” button associated with the calibration function to calibrated your touch
screen. Make sure to touch all 7 points as accurately as possible to insure an accurate
calibration.

Calibration Options

Three point calibration option - Use for a quick calibration of a known good touch screen
overlay.

Four point calibration - The 4-point calibration
program will compensate for some irregularities in
a touch screen overlay resistance. Use in
conjunction with the “distance from edge” selection
to adjust for Trapezoidal and/or skew correction. If
there is still a problem with your touch screen, try
the 20-point calibration and the skew control.

Seven point calibration - Standard calibration. More
accurate than 3 point.

Twenty point calibration - Use the 20-point
calibration when you have a non-linear screen,
which may not be registered to a display properly.
This will give you the most accurate calibration.
Note: This calibration should be used to correct a
moderately defective or damaged touch screen
overlay.

Distance from the edge - 4, 5 and 8 wire touch screens are constructed using various
materials and linearization patterns. Some manufacturers linearization patterns cause a
straight line to “bow” near the edges of the overlay. Because of the varied linearity that
exists between touch screen types, it may be necessary to calibrate the edges of the
touch screen more concisely. By allowing the user to calibrate the edges using the
“distance from the Edge” setting the TSHARC drivers can correct for this non-linearity.
Experiment with this setting to find the desired result.

Calibration Process

If this screen appears while attempting to calibrate your
touch screen, you have multiple touch screen controllers
connected. Choose the touch screen controller location
that you would like to calibrate

As discussed in the previous section, Hampshire TSHARC
drivers are equipped with various calibration algorithms
that will provide accurate touch location data even in cases when the touch screen
overlay is damaged or defective. Touch the calibration points as accurately as you can as
they appear on the screen.

TSHARC™ Driver - Calibration (Cont’d)

Calibration Targets

Hampshire’s calibration targets have been designed to help you calibrate your touch
screen overlay as accurately as possible. Take your time and deliberately touch the
center of each calibration target as they appear on your screen. The center of each
calibration point is where the arrows come together. Because you must calibrate the
edge of the display during some calibration routines only 1/2 of the target is displayed.
This is because the remaining portion of the target would appear outside the active area
of the display. Make sure that you touch the point on the target where the arrows come
together. This will be on the outside edge of the display active area.

Multi-Monitor (single display driver card)

Hampshire’s TSHARC touch screen controllers will allow you to attach more than one (up
to eight as determined by the video card) touch screen monitor to a computer system.
To use this feature, you must have a display driver card that supports more than one
monitor, and you must have separate TSHARC touch screen controllers for each monitor
on separate com ports. You may also mix and match your com ports for the desired
configuration. For example, you may have a touch screen on com 1 and another one on
com port 2, or you may have one on your PS/2 port and another on a serial port.

To stretch the display across more than one display, enter the minimum and maximum
pixel resolution of the combined displays. Example: two monitors both set for 640x480
resolution. To stretch the touch screen set the x min to: 0 max = 1280 set the y min to:
0 and y max to 960.

NOTE: If you are displaying the same image on both touch screen displays it is not
necessary to use these features. Simply choose the touch screen controller location
that you wish to calibrate and run the calibration routine. This must be done for each
controller attached to the system.

Multi-Monitor (multiple display driver card)

This screen will allow you to set up separate touch screens on different touch screen
displays that are configured with separate display driver cards.

1. Select the location of your primary touch screen
monitor. Then select OK

2. Select the location of the next touch screen monitors
position relative to the primary monitors already
defined.

3. Recalibrate your system. It is important that you
recalibrate your touch screens based on the new
monitor configuration you have defined.

Correcting for skew

The TSHARC touch screen controller drivers allow the user to adjust for a touch screen
that has been incorrectly registered to a display. After you have calibrated your touch
screen as accurately as possible you can check to make
sure the touch screen calibration is “Square” to your
display. Select run from the “Adjust Skew” portion of
the calibration tab.

The display will bring up a window that will graphically
display your X and Y registration. When the red and
green dotted lines are aligned to the solid square lines
of the display. You may use the buttons on screen or
the arrows on your keyboard to adjust the skew.

Right Click - Event Area

Since the majority of touch applications do not utilize a right click mouse function, the
default settings do not allow for a right mouse button click.

1. You must enable this feature by selecting the “Enable right mouse button” radio
button. Once you have enabled the right click function, you will invoke a right click by
touching and holding a single point on the touch screen for a defined period of time.

2. Define the amount of time needed to evoke a right click function. Make sure to set
the time long enough to insure that a right mouse click only happens when desired.
Generally, one second will be sufficient.

3. The right mouse button and double click event area is the physical touch area in
which the events must take place. This should be set to 1/2” or larger to insure that
your user can accurately touch the event area with their finger.

NOTE: If you are using your touch screen for drawing or writing. Should minimize the
event area and disable the right click function.

The offset option may be used for a variety of user-defined reasons. We recommend that
you do not use this feature unless it is specifically required for you application. Future
TSHARC drivers may not include this feature. Please contact Hampshire Company if you
have an application that requires this feature.

Task Bar Pull-up

This feature allows you to hide and display the task bar
in various Microsoft operating systems. You must enable
“Hide Task Bar” function in the task bar properties for
this to function. 1) Enable the task bar 2) Identify where
the task bar is located (usually at the bottom of your
display) 3) Define the distance from the edge that you
would like the task bar to be displayed.

Touch Modes

You may change the way that your TSHARC controller reports a touch.

Normal

Same as a standard mouse, the touch point is defined by a touch down and then a touch
up is sent when you release the touch point.

Touch-Down

A complete touch function is sent as the touch
screen is touched. You may not drag or write in this
mode.

Touch-Up

A complete touch function is sent when the touch
screen is released from a touch. Double click and
right mouse button functions are not possible when
the touch mode is set to touch-up. This feature is
useful when a user rests an activator on the screen
in order to help identify the desired touch point.
